Last century

              I vote for the woman the man their ideas not their party     Unlike

My father who notoriously used the voting booth lever tha selected Republicans acrossupandown the board

Your Mother?

A democrat Although she never threw the lever

                                                    I leaned Republican as a boy because my Dad was a precinct captain an I went around with him as he canvassed knocked on doors

You went door-to-door?

As politics ought to be Pressin flesh  Face to face

                                                       Accumulating accountability

Dad was really good Terribly conscientious

A US senator an congressman came to the house an tried to recruit him

                                                                            Sorry fellas, I got a family.

The reason I went around with him was to spend time Otherwise we were too busy

    You were too busy?

Was hustlin

              Had a paper route was up by five in order to make school on time An afternoon route till high school Sports Showers Weekends an summers lawns to mow Fall Leaves to rake  Winter Snow to shovel

Hustled to afford things I wanted tha my parents woudnt buy because they didnt likeem

                                                                                        Tough tits Maw an Paw

    Jah  Independent

I ought to.
